kundi kakainin mo ang mga ito sa harapan ng Walang-Hanggan na iyong Diyos, sa dakong pipiliin ng Walang-Hanggan na iyong Diyos, ikaw, at ang iyong anak na lalaki, at ang iyong anak na babae, at ang iyong aliping lalaki, at ang iyong aliping babae, at ang Levita na nasa loob ng iyong mga pintuang-bayan; at ikaw ay magagalak sa harapan ng Walang-Hanggan na iyong Diyos sa lahat ng gawain ng iyong kamay.
Sifrei Devarim
"and the Levite in your gates, for he has no portion or inheritance with you": Wherever you find the Levite, give him his portion (first-tithe). If he has no portion, he gives him poor-tithe. If he has no poor-tithe, he gives him peace-offerings.
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 14:27) "And the Levite who is in your gate, you shall not forsake him" (by not giving him first tithe): Wherever you find this Levite, give him of his portion (first-tithe). If he does not have his portion, he gives him second-tithe. If he does not have second-tithe, he gives him poor-tithe. If he does not have poor-tithe, he gives him peace-offerings. If he does not have peace-offerings, he feeds him from charity, it being written (26) "you … (27) and the Levite."
